Picasso Triggerfish — quick facts
Care & aquarium requirements
Triggerfish are bold, intelligent and strikingly patterned, with the clown trigger among the most sought-after marine fish anywhere. They are extremely hardy and long-lived, recognise their keepers, and relish a meaty diet of shellfish that keeps their powerful teeth in check.
Compatibility & reef behaviour
Most triggerfish are aggressive and not reef-safe, hunting invertebrates and rearranging rockwork, so they belong in robust fish-only systems with similarly sized tankmates. Their intelligence and durability make them rewarding to keep in the right setup.
Export packaging & shipping
This species carries spines or a sharp caudal scalpel, so it is double or triple bagged to prevent it from puncturing the bag in transit — a key part of how we protect both the fish and its bagmates. Like all our stock it is purged, bagged in pure oxygen and insulated for the shortest reliable route. For more on how we keep losses low, see our guides on professional packing and mortality prevention.
